| Ultimately, Boston doctors may simply reflect the conservative sensibility
of their patients. For instance, Boston consistently had among the lowest
numbers of volunteers willing to undergo tests of vision correction surgery
in the late 1980s and early '90s, recalled Dr. Roger Steinert of Harvard
Medical School, who pioneered the highly popular Lasik technique locally.
"The patients who would come in for it had to have some willingness to take
risks and it has absolutely been my consistent impression that people in the
Northeast and Boston in particular are a little more conservative," said
Steinert. "That's not necessarily a criticism. They've probably saved
themselves a lot of grief over the years."

| You pulled the classic trick of putting a subject line on your post
that is not representing what the article said. You are now on
Santa's naughty list.
What the doctor was referring to is not people who don't have LASIK,
he was referring to people in the late 1980's and early 1990's who
were not willing to be involved in the testing of visual correction
surgery. This means that roughly 15 years ago, there were doctors
looking for test subjects to test out new techniques and procedures -
essentially offering themselves up as guinea pigs. I would never do
that.
Your subject line implies something quite different.
You must not have much relevant negativity to post if you have to
resort to inventing posts.
